Ruprecht also learned from historical experience in this regard. The way the Americans guided the plane to land was that ground crews used flag-tonguing methods to signal the plane. This method had a high requirement for ground crew members on aircraft carriers. However, the Japanese's approach in history was much more prominent.

The Japanese used similar optical landing assistance equipment, and installed two rows of light bulbs on both sides of the flight deck at the rear of the aircraft, with red lights in front and green lights in the back. If the aircraft landed at the right angle, the red and green lights seen by the pilot should be on the same line. If the angle is too high, the visual position of the green light is above the red light, and the countermeasure is too low. This solves the problem of landing angle. As for what to do if you can't see the light bulb? It must be that there is a problem with the horizontal angle. Pull it up and land it again!

At this time, the naval personnel of the U.S. and Germany on the Constellation were even more nervous than the original release of the aircraft! The warship also entered the anti-wind navigation stage. The first Ju5 torpedo plane roared down from the air. With the help of the landing system, the aircraft found the angle and controlled the speed. After crossing the two blocking cables, the third blocking cable finally hung on the plane. With the stretching of the blocking cable and the operation of the hydraulic cylinder behind, the huge force provided by the blocking cable offset the bomber's huge kinetic energy and stopped at a distance of less than 30 meters.

After the plane lands, the ground crew will quickly run over and unload the blocking cable on the hook at the rear of the aircraft, and then the blocking cable will gradually recover. The ground crew will push the aircraft into the central storage area. If it is a large aircraft carrier in World War II, the storage area will stack some aircraft. But now, because the deck of the Constellation is too small, the aircraft entering the storage area is sent to the hangar by the elevator! At this time, the recycling cycle is completed, and the next aircraft will begin. Considering the time for recycling the aircraft and the time for resetting the blocking cable, the time for recycling an aircraft is about 60 to 100 seconds.

At this speed, it takes about half an hour to fully recover the aircraft fleet. During this period, other aircraft naturally cannot fly around. All J-3s fighters hover around the aircraft carrier, while the Ju5 bomber that first began to land entered the area above the aircraft carrier, then gradually spiraled down, control the speed, and then find a suitable opportunity to land. Overall, the aviation operation of the German high seas fleet has formed a system.

At this time, the Japanese seaplane team led by Yoshikawa also discovered the Constellation aircraft carrier sailing against the wind on the sea and the fast battleship Schanehorst accompanied by it!

"Did the German plane take off from this flat-topped ship? It's so amazing!" Yoshikawa was very surprised when he looked at the strange-looking battleship in front of him. According to the battleship next to him, he could feel that this was not a big ship. Judging from the ship type, this ship should have been modified from the hull of a light cruiser, with a maximum displacement of only about 7,000 tons. However, in this kind of ship, he killed 1 light cruiser, 1 seaplane mothership and 2 destroyers in the attack just now, and his combat effectiveness is extremely strong!

"If this warship is built larger and equipped with more aircraft, then it may be possible to easily kill those giants outside the range of the battleship guns?" Looking at the Constellation aircraft carrier in the distance, Yoshikawa was a little distracted. At this time, their flight altitude was not high, so they were not discovered by the sailing German fleet. Unfortunately, a team of late German carrier-based aircraft discovered these assassins at low altitudes, and while thinking about the fleet's report, they launched an attack!

The German carrier-based aircraft team returning did not find the Japanese seaplane following behind. This time, the Japanese did not find the German carrier-based aircraft that they touched behind them. The two J-3s fighters were the first to be hit. After throwing out the load and using more than half of the fuel in the aircraft, the combat weight was greatly reduced and the flight performance was also improved a lot. At this time, the Japanese seaplane flying at a low altitude was like a stupid duck with one leg!

The two aircraft easily raided the two seaplanes into the sea, while the other seaplane was targeted by a Ju5 torpedo. After a series of low-altitude combat between the two sides, the Ju5 torpedo became the first carrier-based bomber to shoot down enemy aircraft!

When Yoshikawa finally approached the Constellation while flying his seaplane, he could even see the busy crowd on the deck. However, the J3S fighter circling and waiting for landing did not give him a chance. The seaplane was eventually beaten into a fireball more than 3,000 meters away from the aircraft carrier. Although the attack was easily disintegrated, for the German Navy, the Japanese's actions alerted them!

"Our aircraft fleet is being tracked. If we are facing the Royal Navy, we may not want to see it." Rodhart saw the Japanese seaplane that was destroyed not far away with his own eyes, and his face looked a little bad. At this time, the aircraft carrier Constellation was loading and refueling. If a bomb came down, it would be a trivial matter to destroy several aircraft!

"There is no way, the aircraft carrier is just an egg with a sledgehammer. It is powerful, but it is fragile." Kimmel said. However, at this time, they had no time to consider these subsequent issues. They quickly loaded the aircraft with ammunition and oil, and then fired another wave before dark. Killing the Kasugao is the most important thing. At the same time, in order to narrow the distance with the Japanese fleet, the entire aircraft carrier battle group began to sail towards the Kasugao at the fastest speed after receiving the aircraft. At this time, the distance between the two sides had been pulled within 100 kilometers. It took about an hour for the carrier-based aircraft to reorganize and release the next wave of aircraft. During this period, the distance can be shortened by at least 20 kilometers!

"We are probably the only one left in this sea area." Saburo Yugu sighed at the empty sea outside. Fortunately, although the warships were destroyed, it seemed that the transport ships avoided the German attack. At this time, in the north, a black smoke column gradually became clear. With the help of the rangefinder at the top of the mast, the Japanese could already recognize that it should be the Gneesenau. At this distance, both sides could see the opponent, but the other party did not seem to plan to launch an attack.
